Aortic Program
The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It carries oxygen-rich blood from your heart to other areas. Diseases and conditions that affect the aorta are called aortic diseases. Because the aorta is so important, these conditions can be serious. Our Aortic Program is a regional resource to help manage aortic conditions such as aortic dissections and aortic aneurysms. For appointments, call 503-494-7593.
